Curiosity:
Which
is the most affordable city in Australia?
R.:
The city with the smallest life cost in Australia is
Adelaide (2006 statistics). Adelaide is 18% cheaper than
Sydney, 15% than Melbourne, 7% than Perth, and 5% cheaper
than Brisbane or the Gold Coast. The main reason is the
lower price for housing.
